?Chapter 376: Chapter 377: After the Harm, There’s No Forgiveness (2)_1 Chapter 376: Chapter 377: After the Harm, There’s No Forgiveness (2)_1 Her steps hurried, as if she were trying to escape something terrifying behind her, and she held onto Liang Chen’s arm with added force, as if seeking some support.
Shen Liangnian stood dumbfounded in place, watching Jing Haohao’s figure recede into the distance. Her words still echoed in his ears: “Shen Liangnian, remember this, there is no forgiveness after the harm is done.”
…
Jing Haohao, without looking back, led Liang Chen all the way to the parking lot. The loud commotion behind them ceased to reach her ears at last.
Jing Haohao stopped walking, she didn’t turn around to look at Liang Chen trailing behind her. She lowered her head, standing in silence for a while before speaking weakly, “Can I be alone for a while?”
Liang Chen glanced at the desolate suburbs, with no village ahead and no shop behind. There was only one car between him and her. He replied, “Where do you want to go? I can accompany you. How about I drive you home, and you can be alone there?”
Jing Haohao, her back to Liang Chen, shook her head: “I don’t want to go back there.”
That place wasn’t her home; it was just a golden cage imprisoning her.
Jing Haohao, suppressing the urge to cry, pleaded with Liang Chen in a soft voice, “Please, let me have some peace.”
Liang Chen silently watched Jing Haohao’s back for a while, then sighed, turned around, and opened the car door. He took out Jing Haohao’s bag, inspected her wallet and phone, making sure everything was in place before handing it over to her: “Stay safe. When you’re ready to go home, call me, and I’ll come pick you up.”
Jing Haohao, with her head down, took the bag and wanted to thank him. However, she felt an unbearable clog in her throat. Fearing that she would burst into tears at any moment, she nodded hastily and turned to walk away.
Liang Chen stood by the car, watching Jing Haohao’s retreating figure, thought for a moment, then took out his phone, and made a call.
The call was quickly picked up. Without any hesitation, Liang Chen gave his order, “Notify all news outlets and television stations to replace any mention of Jing Haohao in today’s news with an anonymous reference.”
Qiao Wennuan had already lost face in front of everyone, so no one owed her any courtesy now.
The story of her being jilted and carrying on an affair with someone else’s boyfriend for two years would be reported.
But, Jing Haohao’s involvement couldn’t be reported.
Liangnian’s betrayal wasn’t Jing Haohao’s fault; she was the innocent one. The whole world would side with her, but what she needed was not the public’s sympathy.
Moreover, she didn’t want her personal affairs known to all.
So, the news had to be reported, but Jing Haohao couldn’t be harmed in the process.
